I wanted to play...
So I brought you here,
to this shaky, crazy world...
And I rocked you, breathed
your sweet baby scent...
I played that I was an adult...
And the passing days
slowly brought me up.
It was a good game.
The most beautiful
adventure. Luminous
pure diamond –
every moment.
I discovered the whole
world with you again.
It was a good game.
Watching as you grow up...
Twenty years, like a lovely
thought, ran away.
It was a good game.
Still, I am crying now,
though, I knew I had to let
you go, someday.
Look, my fingers turned
blue, I held your hand
so strongly...
But...
It will be a good game
to watch you build ‒ like
Lego houses, just yesterday –
your own life.
